Bug 489052 – media-libs/fontconfig-2.11.0 - Fontconfig error: "local.conf", line 35: out of memory

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Small_Penguin 2013-10-22 17:59:20 UTC]

When updating to 2.11.0, I get these lines printed on a terminal when starting some/probably all GUI applications (e.g. handbrake's ghb):

Fontconfig error: "local.conf", line 35: out of memory
Fontconfig error: "local.conf", line 64: out of memory
Fontconfig error: "local.conf", line 100: out of memory
Fontconfig error: "local.conf", line 157: out of memory

Downgrading to 2.10.93 solves this.

What exactly are the snippets containing those lines ?

Created attachment 361656 [details]
local.conf

I attach /etc/fonts/local.conf. locate doesn't show me any other local.conf on my system.

[Comment 3 Ben de Groot (RETIRED) 2013-10-26 10:36:48 UTC]

local.conf contains your custom configurations, so not anything we install. I'd suggest to nuke that file, or move it out of the way and see which parts of it you really need. If you come across something that really is a fontconfig bug, please let us know.
